What defines Boston? Its history? Its landmarks? Its sports
teams and shrines?
Perhaps the question should be: Who defines Boston? From Henry
David Thoreau to Dennis Lehane, Boston has been beloved by many of
America's greatest writers, and there is no better group of men and
women to capture the heart and soul of the Hub. In "Our Boston,"
editor Andrew Blauner has collected both original and reprinted
essays from Boston area writers past and present, all celebrating
the city they love. In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing,
they responded to his call to celebrate this great city by
providing almost all brand-new works, and forgoing royalties in
order to support the survivors and their families. For every copy
of "Our Boston" sold, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt will donate $5 to
the One Fund Boston.
From Mike Barnicle to Pico Iyer, Susan Orlean to George Plimpton,
Leigh Montville to Lesley Visser, Pagan Kennedy to James Atlas,
here is a collection of the best essays by our best writers on one
of America's greatest cities.
